In the Creation, God is a tea plant.  She is a tea plant and also the soil in which the tea plant grows, and the air in which the tea plant breathes, and the rains in which the tea plant drinks, and the Light in which the tea plant Knows. We were a leaf on God’s tea plant, and the Life of the tea plant lived in us and through us.  It was beautiful and […]

A Rambling Exploration of Perception

Course Ideas

Perception is the only mode of awareness available to the separated mind.  To say it another way, perception is a way of consciously viewing ourselves and the world that is based upon the a priori assumption- or belief- that separation is real.  Once we have accepted this false premise- that we are truly separate from God and from one another, that the ‘I’ within ‘me’ is an island unto itself- then perception is the primary […]

Recently I convinced myself that I was in desperate need of an Inception. (I don’t know if you have seen the movie, but I hope you have.  If you have not, I have provided a summary of the relevant points at the bottom of this post.  I’ve tried not to get too carried away and engage in any wanton acts of plot spoilage…) I wanted Jesus to go into my subconscious and ride around my […]

We talk a pretty mean game, here, in Separationville, but the reality is that we are wandering around this place only slightly better informed than a display case full of polished rocks- which is to say that our particular brand of ignorance has elegance and intelligence to it, something vital, a real panache that sets us apart from and at the top of this planet’s rambunctious collection of evolutionary byproducts.  We know nothing in the […]

Formless, holy, joyous, permanent, forever giving to everything and everyone and receiving from everything and everyone in a simultaneity and a bandwidth so wondrous that synchronicity feels like slow motion black and white, forever joined with all Creation, forever fulfilling your function in only the way that you can fill it, incredibly appreciated for fulfilling your function in only the way that you can fill it, incredibly appreciative […]

I’d been wanderin’ ‘et desert fer longer ‘an I could remember.  It’s all I knew.  Don’t ask me how I got ‘ere, crawlin’ on my belly suckin’ the dew off o’ rocks at dawn, fishin’ m’self ‘tween ‘e shadows o’ boulders, doin’ nothin’ but doin’ an’ re-doin’, ‘cuz I cain’t reckon it.  Cain’t say as how I got there.  The soles o’ my boots ‘es thin as parchment.  I could feel each ‘n every grain […]

The Begending… and the In Between

To know the Self, is to know everything.  To comprehend miracles, is to be set free.  To know Christ, is to know everyone.  Where, then, to start?  In an effort to adopt a right-side up approach from the get go, the End strikes me as the logical place to start.  After all, it is an End which the Course (A Course in Miracles) assures us is the Beginning. That Begending is a state of Knowledge. […]
